Jungian Archetypes and the Dating scene (11)
Tony_GalwayGalway, Ireland2 Threads 7 PostsWhat do you think about Jungian archetypes and their effect on daters and dating, romance, relationships, marriages ? The ideal partner is often found to be the opposite of what people think he/she is. Personalities are complex and changing and this presents major challenges to dating and relationships, and perceptions of ideals.

Welcome to CS Tony...
Good to have a tribesman on board...
I have never read Jung, but the idea behind the thread is a departure from the usual forum fare...
I was the living embodiment of what your posting about, working class marrying into upper class, no money into big money, a wealth of differences... We said it would work, we thought we could buck the trend, but it didn't and we couldn't, outside pressures conspired to force the status quo, class keeps its own, regardless of the march of time and perceived changes in social standings... It's become popular to become 'classless', but scratch the surface and what was, still is, but it keeps itself hidden from view, unless it's with its own....
Good topic, hope it gets traction...

Understanding which archetype you are, and which archetype you are choosing can certainly help one to stop repeating patterns that do not serve oneself. (ie. victim/abuser).But i think more than being able to label oneself...whether it's jungian archetypes, or whatever is the flavour of the month... developing self awareness will help oneself to make better choices.

online today!Knowing yourself is the easy part, changing yourself is where the work gets really hard. One may say to themselves i will never let anyone hit me again, but then find someone who abuses them in a different way. That is why changing yourself becomes so important.

My brother is one of these men who never does as well with women as he should do on paper - he flew over to America in November 2016 to cheer Trump on - and he makes out as though he wants a beautiful with woman low self-esteem and no rights but in reality what I think he wants is a woman like Donald Trump. Because such a woman would be like my dad - a charismatic tyrant dad. The belief is in taking charge - it's to emulate dad - but the overhelming need is to be kept on ones toes and this hates the driving seat.------ This thread is Archived ------
What we want and what we need is where we go wrong...
The personality types are only giving you the wide picture but not what really lies underneath...
Often in the desire to change completely we run from one extreme to another, like an anorexic girl turned fitness maniac...it's driven by fear and not content...
What we want in a partner sounds to me like a personality bucket list, you think you want it but you may not like it after all...
Giving chances to people who don't fit in your "bucket list" may be the best thing you can do relationship wise... But for that you need to stop being so much in love with yourself...or stop putting yourself down...
